How many times can you incorrectly enter your passcode before it is disabled?

My son forget the passcode to his phone after not having it for some time, he doesn't want to permanently disable his phone. How many attempts does he have before he has to connect it to itunes and restore his phone?

From my experience, if you try to enter wrong password continuously for 5 times, it gets temporarily disabled for a minute. You can try again after a minute or so...

  • How many times can you attempt the restrictions passcode?

    I've forgotten the restrictions passcode I set on my iPod. Since I don't want to perform a complete systems reset just yet, I want to try to attempt remembering my passcode... how many times can I try the restrictions passcode without permanently locking it?

    This is for the restrictions passcode correct? Not the regular passcode....
    And I heard somewhere that if you guess too many times, you will be permanently locked out of your device...

  • How many times can you type in your password on the restrictions

    I need help

    You can install a trial once on the same computer. After the trial period ends, you'll need a serial number (in other words, a purchased product) to continue using it on the same computer.

  • HT1414 How many times can you attempt the restrictions passcode?

    I forgot the restriction code, I already tryed 9 times and the TIME you have to wait after the fifth try is increased like crazzy.

    That is a security measure. If the device is being tampered with, the longer the "tamperer" has to wait, the more likely they are to become discouraged and give up.
    I think that you get 10 attempts, but I can't swear to that having never been in that position. In any event, you will probably have to restore to factory settings if you want to be able to use the iPad again. You cannot restore from a backup - unless that backup does not have the restrictions passcode in it. If it does not have the passcode in it, then restoring from that backup will eliminate the passcode.
    If you have to restore, you have to use iTunes on a computer, since you cannot get into the settings.

  • How many times can you enter the wrong pin code on an iphone before it resets?

    How many times can you enter the wrong pin code on an iphone before it resets itself?

    Hey Robin.T,
    Thanks for the question. The following article provides the answer to your question:
    iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
    If you enter the wrong passcode six or more times, you'll see a message that says one of the following:
    iPhone is disabled
    iPad is disabled
    iPod touch is disabled
    You can also set your passcode lock to wipe the device after 10 unsuccessful attempts (Settings > General > Passcode Lock > Erase Data)
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • How many times can you resend an iTunes Gift Card?

    Tried sending an iTunes gift card to a @facebook account but the recipient hasn't received it.
    Is it possible to send to another of their @facebook accounts and if that also fails then to a conventional account?
    I guess my question is how many times can you resend on Gift Card and to how many different email accounts?

    To use an iTune Gift Card to buy books...
    Open iTunes on your computer and click on the iTunes Store.
    You'll need to be signed in...
    Click on the little House icon in the dark gray bar across the top. (or Shift+Command+H)
    On the right side of the page under Quick Links click Redeem and enter your code.
    Then it will show your credit balance in the dark gray bar across the top next to your account name to let you know how much you have to spend.
    Then as you buy books, it'll deduct from the credit balanace.
    There is a distinction between, iTunes Gift Card and Apple Gift Card.
    Apple Gift Card: can be used to purchase Apple hardware and accessories at any Apple Retail Store, the Apple Online Store...
    iTunes Gift Card: To give music, movies, TV shows, apps, books, or anything on the iTunes Store, the App Store, the iBooks Store or the Mac App Store, select an iTunes Gift Card

    How many times can you install Lightroom 5? My problem is that I have saved my programs on C. To I have more space, I want to save my programs now on E. Can I now uninstall Lightroom and reinstall from C to E? Can I use the same license code as the first installation?

    Thank you for your answers, it helps me a lot.
    But sorry for my ignorance. I understand how you mean it, but I don't know how to do it. I'm scared to lose the settings/edits of the images.

  • How many times can you watch a rented movie in iTunes?

    Title describes the question. I'm thinking about either buying or renting a movie in iTunes, so question is how many times can you watch a rented movie? Just once? X times within a given timeframe? Thanks,

    You have 30 days from the time of rental to watch your movie, and 24 hours (in the US) or 48 hours (elsewhere) after you've started viewing to finish it. Once the rental period expires, the movie will disappear from your iTunes library. Happy movie watching!

  • HT1977 How many times can you download an app?

    I have purchased an app from itunes store, my family has alot of devices and i want that app on all of them. we upgrade alot so how many times can you upload an app? Unlimited?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You can download an application in all the devices with your Apple ID as many times as you want for free. You may have to pay again for it if the developer releases an update and wants to make it paid.
    It's recommended to have the same Apple ID in all your family devices, but you can also use it with a different Apple ID. In that case, you will have to let your family know your Apple ID password to update the application

  • How many times can you restore from the same backup?

    how many times can you restore from the same backup?

    As many times as you want till you delete or modify it.
    It's YOUR backup, a copy of all your stuff.
    Not some copyrighted, access controlled bunch of bytes representing a picture, a song or a movie, with a bunch of lawyers from the entertainment maff1a hellbent on restricting what you can do with it.

  • How many times can you burn "protected AAC" to CDs...?

    How many times can you burn Apple iTunes Store's music files (Protected AAC) to a CD? Seven?

    I can put any of the individual songs onto a playlist and burn it to a CD and do it an infinite number of times?
    You don't get unlimited burns of a single playlist including any tracks from the iTunes Music Store, no,
    Any given playlist that contains a track or tracks purchased from the iTunes Music Store can be burned a maximum of seven times. After that, you either have to alter the playlist (add or remove a track of any type, iTMS or imported) or create a new playlist with the iTMS track(s) you wish to burn. That playlist can also be burned up to seven times. Etc. etc.
    Note that this only applies when you're burning an audio CD. You can burn your iTMS tracks as data for backup an infinite number of times. Though of course those data disks won't play in a CD player.
    Hope this clears things up.

  • How many times can you clean install leopard on the same computer?

    How many times can you clean install leopard on the same computer? Will the leopard dvd run out of installations and not let you install anymore?

    Hi colman Prez;
    Now that the funny comments have been made, I have a serious question and that why are you worry about reinstalling Leopard with an Erase & Install which is what I take that you mean when you say clean install. In actually fact there is no such thing in OS X as a clean install.
    I am curious because in all the years I have used OS X, I have yet to do an Erase & Install yet.
    I know with Windows that they suggest reformatting and reinstalling at the drop of a hat but that isn't true with OS X.

  • Offline updates mechanism: how many times can you use it before corrupting the image(wim)?

    Hi,
    As title mentions: "how many times can you use sccm 2012 offline updates for the wim file before corrupting the image(wim)"?

    In my experience the offline servicing feature is only OK and too unreliable for production.

  • How many times can you transfer music

    Hi,
    Over the last few years we have had laptops breaking down and have had to transfer music and I was wondering how many times can you transfer from computer to another computer?
    Please help because at the moment I am slightly confused!

    Once you no longer use a machine, you are deactivating the iTunes library on that computer, right?
    You have 5 total simultaneous activations per music library managed by a single Apple ID. As long as you deactivate unused systems, within that limit of 5, you can transfer at will.
